Israeli enemy forces continue siege of al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza
Gaza - Saba:
Bakr Abu Safia, head of the surgery department at al-Awda Hospital, confirmed on Saturday that all roads leading to the hospital in Tal al-Zaatar, northern Gaza Strip, are closed, either directly by the Israeli enemy or indirectly due to the bombing and destruction.
Abu Safia said in a press statement on Saturday: "We are not receiving any new cases due to the continued Israeli siege of the hospital, and we are working to continue treating the wounded and patients we have."
He added: "All the doors and windows in the hospital have been destroyed as a result of the ongoing bombing operations in the vicinity of the hospital. We clearly hear the sounds of gunfire, bombing, bulldozing, and the placement of booby-trapped robots from inside the hospital."
Abu Safia noted that an Israeli military drone "dropped a bomb inside Al-Awda Hospital in Tal al-Zaatar yesterday, Friday, injuring three hospital security personnel."
He continued: "The siege of the hospital forced us to make an opening or window in the building's wall to access the second building."
On Friday, three medical personnel were injured when an Israeli drone targeted Al-Awda Hospital in Tel al-Zaatar, north of Gaza.
The hospital director, Mohammed Saleha, announced that three medical personnel, one of whom was seriously injured, were injured in an Israeli attack while they were inside the emergency room.

UNICEF: Gaza families bitterly suffer to secure one meal for children
Gaza - Saba: UNICEF spokesperson James Elder confirmed that Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip are struggling to provide a single meal for their children daily, as "far more bombs and rockets are entering Gaza than food." Elder told the Turkish Anadolu Agency on Sunday that the situation in the Gaza Strip is worsening by the day, in light of the ongoing blockade and Israeli attacks. He described the humanitarian situation in the Strip as "bleak, horrific, and hopeless." He noted that the hopes generated by talks of a ceasefire in Gaza improved slightly, as the area witnessed a partial flow of aid and limited improvements in water and food supplies. He continued, "However, this optimism quickly faded, as the Strip faced a catastrophic aid blockade." He added that "the people of Gaza are living harsh nights under bombardment and spending their days fleeing hunger and explosions," stressing that "everything we knew about people's resilience has been completely shattered." He added, "The world seems preoccupied only with seeing the wounded and talking about aid, ignoring the enormous psychological burden the population is experiencing and the harsh reality for families forced to flee repeatedly after losing everything." He pointed out that many families have been living in tents for six months, under tank fire, and are now being forced to move again. He emphasized that Gaza has been experiencing this tragic scene for more than 600 days. He pointed out that mothers go two days without food just to be able to provide a single meal for their children. He explained that estimating the number of children dying of starvation daily or weekly is extremely difficult in such circumstances, but he emphasized that children suffering from malnutrition die "from simple causes that could have been easily treated." He explained that "acute malnutrition increases the likelihood of a child dying from simple causes by 10 times. This is the deadly cycle that kills children." Food shortages, water contamination, and a lack of basic healthcare." He warned that access to hospitals is no longer safe for sick or malnourished children, stressing that the hospitals themselves lack basic medical supplies. Eldar said, "Humanitarian aid may only amount to 10% of what people actually need. Much more bombs and rockets are entering Gaza than food. He noted that during the ceasefire, the United Nations and its Palestinian partners were able to establish 400 distribution points to provide humanitarian aid. He emphasized that through this system, they were able to reach those in need effectively. Al-Dar criticized the new aid distribution system currently being imposed in southern Gaza by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund. He described it as "military in nature" and involving only limited distribution sites. He added, "This system leads to daily casualties, with children being killed simply for trying to get a box of food." "Now, a system deliberately designed by Israel to push the population from the north of the Strip to the south threatens to undermine the effective aid distribution system we have established," he warned.
